There aren’t any houses there yet, but at least four families will soon call Signal Mountain’s newest subdivision, being constructed along Shackleford Ridge, home.
Orders are being taken for the Boulder Point development, which should start to see construction in the spring.
“Signal’s kind of been waiting for something like this,” said the builder, Tracy Smith, of Blue Hammer Homes. “They’re [buyers] coming from everywhere.”
While some of the new neighborhood’s tenants are coming from elsewhere on the mountain, some hail from as far as Minnesota and Mississippi, he said. In all, 26 families will be able to take up residence in the high-end homes, which will start at around $385,000. Signal Mountain Prudential Realty’s Travis Close and Barry Hamilton are selling the properties.
“I’m determined it’s going to be a high-quality neighborhood,” said Smith, whose business and also family is based on Signal. “This is my home, my town, and it’s going to be done tastefully and it’s going to be done well. This is a big responsibility and I take it that way.”
